Using backpay to buy a cheap car

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

My son is almost 2 years old and he will be getting backpay in a few weeks. I wanted to know would buying a car be acceptable. I work, I'm also in nursing school and it's almost next to impossible to get everything done for him with only one vehicle that me and my husband share. We have ran into so many issues with him missing appointments and other things due to only having one vehicle. Also we have 4 other kids which makes it even more difficult. I just wanted to know if getting a second car would meet the requirements of spending this money on something that benefits my son.

Hi Samantha,
That's a great question! Unfortunately it'll depend on how quickly your local office processes the paperwork. SSI payments usually begin in under a month, so it shouldn't be a long wait.
